Silver is finally picking up for me...

[TheMastermind]

Pulled a 1964 Roosevelt out of $265 worth of mixed CWR and MWR dimes last night.

Dumped the dimes and snagged two Roosevelts from the teller's tray: 1963D and 1956D.

Picked up $300 worth of mixed CWR and MWR dimes on my lunch break today from a few different banks. Last bank had a 1967 Kennedy in the teller's tray!

Not too shabby.

i just blew through 2 more skunk dime boxes and another skunk half dollar box, hopefully a sign of silver picking up for the summer!

I really hope so. I want to get a full roll of dimes before the end of June. Only ten more to go!

Go buy 10 boxes of dimes and you should be able to complete your roll. You have plenty of time left and should set your goal for mid month I think.

each dime and you're 2% closer to your goal, what's your merc-roosie ratio? I would say mine is 1:20

How do you even go about asking for dimes in the teller's tray? They looked at me like I was dumb one day for asking.

1:40. Haha. I've only found on Merc since I've started.

Most of my "found" -- meaning, not from a roll -- dimes have come from the reject trays of coin counters. The few times I've scored dimes from a teller's tray, I just asked if I could buy all of the loose dimes that they had.

congrats! after the first roll, u'd want the 2nd roll, then the 3rd.....and on
to me, pulling a barber is the first thing on my list. never gotten 1 yet.

I'm a little more direct when asking for a dime from a tray. "Can I please buy that WHITE looking dime in the middle of your stack?" Don't say silver. They typically look and notice the one I'm talking about and pluck it out for me. I say thanks and that I need it for my daughter's book. This has only happened a few times for me. I also bought a steel cent one day from a tellers tray.

Aah okay. Well, the bank I asked at was not my normal pickup bank so they didn't know what I was doing. Haha. Thanks for the tips Mastermind and Paris!

(Sorry I'm on my cell phone writing this, otherwise I would just quote both of you, lol.)

The Barber coinage is my next goal following the goals in my signature: a 90%er, a Ben, and a Walker. They've proven to be very, very elusive in my neck of the woods.
